Abstract
Significant advances have been made in PV systems
within the last few decades. However, designers still face
challenges related to the effects of climate conditions on PV
systems performance. Climatic conditions such as temperature,
humidity, wind velocity, solar irradiation and dust accumulation
can effect significantly on the performance of PV modules. This
experimental work aims to determine the effect of two
parameters (PV module temperature and dust accumulation) on
output power of solar PV panels in arid area. The experimental
results showed the effect of dust accumulation in drooping of
photovoltaic energy production, with decreasing by 5.35%,
0.38% and 5.94% in short circuit current, open circuit voltage
and maximum power output respectively compared to cleaned
PV panel. In the other hand results showed that the open circuit
voltage and maximum power of non-cooled PV module are lower
than cooled module by 5.64% and 6.35% respectively.
